Persistent HA settings that work every time you login in the Browser.

[Solarunit]

Some HA settings (like Dark theme, or Always hide sidebar) only applied for a browser session. If you clean site's cookies/data or open another browser, they are gone and you have to apply them again which is annoying.

It would be nice to have these (and all other) settings persistent.

In my experience these settings (theme, sidebar) are reset to defaults even w/o manual cleaning cache - just after user's logout.

Copy/pasted from here:

I have never logged out explicitly from HA - so my settings (theme, sidebar) were persistent.
Surely when I cleared a browser’s cache - I had to login again, set a theme, a sidebar etc.
I thought that I have to re-login & re-set settings since cookies are deleted.

Now I realized that if I logout - then after re-login all my settings are “purged”.
Seems that these “local settings” are “purged” after logout - even when I do not clear a cache manually and I do not know anything about settings for “automatically clear settings after logout”.
I find this really inconvenient when several users are using HA.

guys, I use ha as a service for many users and I want all of them to first log in into my theme. Can you work on this quastion?

Changing the default theme for everyone can be done with an automation (as long as user theme setting is selected Use backend preferred theme):

alias: "Home Assistant Started: Change Theme"
description: ""
trigger:
  - platform: homeassistant
    event: start
condition: []
action:
  - service: frontend.set_theme
    data:
      name: enter-the-theme-name-here
mode: single
